"As there are no regulations in place to govern animal biotechnology, there is no commercial production in Vietnam."
As such, the end of the sentence is tied to the beginning. The end of the sentence is "there is no commercial production in Vietnam". The beginning of the sentence explains why: "there are no regulations in place". It is relatively easy to understand what they are saying. There is no commercial production BECAUSE there are no regulations. In other words, it is illegal to commercially produce from GMO animals.
